Yeah, walk to the station by the Paramount if you still have the strength. One love, mi breddas.

i have some behind the scenes documentary footage of occupy boston. take a look here: http://bit.ly/occ11bos

It's also illegal to allow war criminals with DUIs into Canada, but Dick Cheney and George Bush still go there and the cops still protect them too.

Meanwhile, funding for transit in Seattle while the Deeply Borrowed Tunnel is built is still missing.

@4, because University station lacks the faboo 90s-style black marble of Westlake station that would be an injustice.

@5 Yeah, you are right. It would be better just to walk home instead if Westlake is closed.

I think it great sign of courtesy and cooperation if the protesters agreed to vacate at least one day a week so that city workers could hose down crud and piss, both in NYC and Seattle.

Obviously having mass arrests at a protest aren't going to go well no matter how lawful they would be. The focus needs to be less on the police and people need to stay on message. Come up with plans. Legislation. Getting the word out what this is for. Article 5 for campaign finance reform to cite an extreme idea.

If you're not a dick and don't cause problems, they'll have less of a reason to go through the pain of public humiliation if they start arresting. As I said before, stop making this about the cops. Cops will be a byproduct of any protest, and will only be aggravated if people act like twerps. I still think things would be easier if you went home every night and came back though.

MEET THE FLEA PARTY!

So far, the only major accomplishment of the "Occupy Seattle" protesters is that they have finally put an end to their previous initiative, "Occupy Our Mothers' Basements."

Why, Dominic! A far less generous man than I might think you were calling upon the protesters to OCCUPY WESTLAKE STATION!

Fortunately I know you would never imply that folks should get in out of the rain and occupy the nearby sheltered mall that links the surrounding privately-owned-corporate-business -- but was nevertheless built and PAID FOR by taxes on the the public citizenry.

I know you would never encourage that. (But someone who did, would definately be on the right track... )

None of this is productive, and I'm shocked that no one has pointed out that it costs ALL OF US, but mostly we middle class citizens who pay most of the taxes, thousands of dollars whenever one of these dipshits gets arrested.

one way to look at it; perhaps there is a concerted effort in many places to take some of the wind out of the sails right before the Oct 15 Day of Action?

The more you dumb fucks keep getting caught up on getting to squat where you want to, the less relevant this protest becomes.

@3, 9 & 11: If you still don’t understand, then you’re probably part of the problem.

How are you missing what they are trying to say? The cops don't want to do anything, neither does the mayor. However neither can say they will simply allow illegal behavior. It's so fucking obvious stop worry and realize that they won't arrest you but consider that the situation could change immediately and everyone could get arrested.

@17

Everyone's a little bit racist
Sometimes.
Doesn't mean we go
Around committing hate crimes.
Look around and you will find
No one's really color blind.
Maybe it's a fact
We all should face
Everyone makes judgments
Based on race.
